I happened to know Marilyn when I was growing up as a neighbor to her in Kirkland. I only happened to this on accident with this crazy blogging that I only did incidently, thinking of you and Merrily, my neighborhood friend. I have often thought about you and your family over the years. I am so sorry to hear of your passing and wish you and your family comfort as I am sure grieving is ongoing. and not very predictable at all. I remember you as a comforting force as My parents were going through rough financial/emotional times. YOur family needs to know you always lended an ear and offered me a great deal of emotional solace, when my parents were quite pre-occupied with my own families strife. I appreciated you and your family very much and am lucky I was neighbors with you. Merrily you can reach me at

To my dear "Other Mother."
Here it is coming up on Mother's Day soon. I guess I will have to send my card air mail.
Thank you once again, so very much, for all the time you allowed me to spend in your wonderful, warm Kirkland home when I was a kid. These memories will probably never go dim or vague to me. You and Dan were a very stable force in my world, and your daughter Merrily meant the world to me. Love you lots and see you soon!

Mom, Hi. Well, as you can see, I am the last of your kids to write. I have had about eight months now to absorb your passing and mull over my thoughts about you and I. Before I go on with saying goodbye, I wrote a poem that I would like to share with you. as usual, it rhymes, for better or worse here it is:
What doyou say when you come to the end/ of a path long walked with your dearest friend? When you reach the fork where your paths divide/ do you stop right there or lengthen your stride? Do you mourn as those who have no hope/ Or do you move on, find some way to cope? Do you cherish their memories/ or bury them too/ Do they make you happy or make you feel blue? Will you talk to God or push Him away/ Will you draw closer or from the Path stray? So many questions, so little time/ Answer correctly, find Truth sublime.
Well Mom, that's the poem. Like Kertie said, I don't expect you'll be checking your mail up there. I just have a few more things to say, but I will never be able to say enough. There have been so many times that I have wanted to talk to you or hear your voice, so many times I wish I could share a moment with you, but I can't. Thanks for everything you did for me, thanks for loving me. You did all that you could for me and I appreciate the effort. After you passed, I want you to know that I stayed in the room with you holding your hand for a few minutes after everyone else was gone. I put in a c.d. that had a song called "I'm Going Home" on it. I think you would have liked it, it had some really pretty violin music on it. I held your hand as the warmth slowly left you. I praise God that you are free from pain and in His prescence. I want you to know that I will always love you and miss you. There will always be a little gap in my heart where you were and I won't be complete again until Heaven. Goodbye is too final and seems to miss the point, so instead, I will just say that I will see you in the morning of That Day. Until then rest easy in our Savior's arms. Love you, see you,
Dean

Grandma Marilyn,
I suppose that you're probably not checking your email in Heaven any more frequently than you did down here, but I want so much to tell you about your grandson. I'm sure the joy he brings us is nothing compared to what you are enjoying in Christ's presence now, but...I guess I just need to tell you about him, and this is the closest I can come to doing so. He arrived during your funeral, at 11:56 a.m. 12/23, and weighed in at a hefty 9lbs. 12oz. We named him Aiden Mathias. He is so beautiful--he has red hair, blue eyes, and a smile that lights up the whole world. He looks so much like Dean that it's almost funny. Remember when I said that the ultrasound picture looked like Dean? He especially looks like him when he's studying something or someone--sometimes he looks like he's doing an impersonation of his Daddy! His body is Dean's, too--shoulders, chest, legs...he's like a mini-Dean. He is a happy, happy baby. He loves books already and loves music, too--Grandpa Arne comes over and plays the guitar and fiddle for him, and Aiden stands and bounces to the music; he "helps" me play the piano. Dean and I sometimes laugh about how you just wouldn't be able to get over him--particularly his red hair. And you would be so proud of Dean--he's the best Daddy ever! The way Aiden looks at him is just indescribable--with complete trust and love. I don't know how it works in Heaven, but I hope God tells you about Aiden. We'll tell him about you.

Dear Mother:
I always told you we would "Rise up and call you blessed" I know you loved to hear it! I meant it every time. But I feel so very blessed for having a life, a friendship and a kinship that is of "Heavenly origins" with you! All that I have of womanliness, of graciousness, of enjoyment of all the spiritual beauty in this world, I gladly credit you with the endowment thereof. I thank our Heavenly father for you, and for your beauty of spirit and fervor to serve your whole life for Him. What an example you were. I can't wait to catch up to you there!

Delightful, beloved Mother. I'm so thankful that you're enjoying the Presence of the Lord now. Can't wait to see if our theories about heaven and dimensions had any validity...you already know!!
I'll miss you fiercely till I see you again. Thanks for a heritage of faith.

Our thoughts and hearts are with you Marilyn, and your family, as your journey continues. Having lost Maggie's mother to breast cancer, also in her early 60's, we have felt and understand some of the sorry, pain and challenges that your family and friends are facing. It just doesn't seem fair, but who are we to judge. We will honor you Marilyn, as we do Maggie's mother Ruth, among the stars of our universe.

Though we didn't know Marilyn, we know her daughter, Carolee very well. Carolee is a loving and giving person and we're certain that Marilyn played a large part in Carolee developing such a wonderful attitude.
We pray God's greatest comfort for your family at this time.

Our lives have been greatly enriched by knowing "Aunt" Marilyn and having had the privilege of spending time with her. This includes time spent in the home, with our children (who loved her very much), at the ministry office where her presence is still felt, and
in the circle of Christian friends in Tacoma. We will greatly miss her, but the fruit of her life remains. Our prayers and heart-felt sympathy goes to dear Dan, Dean & Kirsten, Marilee & family and Carolee & family. May the Lord help you through this very difficult time in your lives. He knows and cares! Hebrews 10:35.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. Although we know Marilyn is in a much better place - with thr Lord who loved her, there remains a great void in each of your lives. The Lord knows and cares - "He careth for you" ( I Pet. 5:7), and we know He will give the comfort and strength to sustain you in the days ahead. Soon we too will be caught up to join Marilyn and other loved ones who have gone ahead.
